A Results Analysis item contains a list of point, line and polygon objects that can be used to interrogate results within a 2D mesh.
The Results Analysis Objects are used as a tool to query a set of results that has already been generated. For more accurate results, use the Network result points, line and polygon objects, which provide results generated during the simulation.
The objects in the Results Analysis item can be used to display
2D simulation results using the
pick graph
and
pick grid
tool buttons on the
Results Toolbar. Results for the objects can also be
exported to CSV file.
For more information on the different types of analysis object available, see the Results Analysis Objects topic.
